Blueberry-ginger detox smoothie!

RECIPE!
1 cup frozen wild blueberries
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 banana, frozen
1 tsp grated fresh ginger

1 tsp chia seeds
1/2 cup ice cubes
 After a day (or two) ending with a night on the couch, spoon and peanut butter jar in hand, I decided to take it upon myself to do a little detoxing. I had recently purchased some fresh ginger and frozen blueberries, so I figured the combination was perfect for a little bit of a cleanse! 

This smoothie is rich in antioxidants from the blueberries and full of fiber from the banana and chia seeds. Chia seeds are one of my favorite thing to throw into almost everything. They are full of calcium and omega-3, but what makes them so great is that they expand up to 12 times their weight, keeping you feeling full for longer. Fresh ginger is also a great ingredient to add to any recipe if you have an upset stomach or are having any gastrointestinal problems. 

 Try out this smoothie the next time you're feeling like you need a little cleanse!
